A few minutes after Jeff walked off, Mike came over and started signing for a group of kids there wearing Royals shirts. I walked over and waited and asked Mike if he would please sign my shirt. He said, "sure," and then I asked him about his favorite player. His answer was great and really touched my heart. He said, "Mickey Mantle, because he was my dads favorite player." I was really NOT expecting to hear a player say that. As a father, it really touched my heart to hear a grown man say his dad's favorite player was his favorite player. Even as I typed this, I still feel a lump in my throat and fight back a tear.
Classy, just classy. The Royals organization is very classy.
